on the opening night and exhibited in place of the original installation four days later.
You are invited to witness and participate in this process on April 27 from 6pm.
Audience presence will form an intrinsic part of the final product.
Filming will begin at 7pm sharp.
For this event, The PREMISES will be a controlled environment. For safety reasons,
